We’ve all watched as Charlie Sheen partied through countless years with drug abuse, sex addiction, and binge drinking, wondering why he still had a job. Now that he’s (allegedly) sober, however, his behavior is crazier than ever. And after listening to his countless interviews in the past week, we’re confused, scared and left wondering if drug-addicted Sheen is actually the better alternative.
Sheen’s recent tirades also beg the question: “Is he bipolar?” (Seriously, watch the video. It’s quite disturbing.)
During a recent interview with ABC News, Sheen seemed to be on an entirely different level, or realm, than the interviewer or audience. His behaviors were wired and his words were erratic. When questioned about his alleged sobriety, Charlie said this: “I am on a drug, it’s called ‘Charlie Sheen.’ It’s not available cuz if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off and children will weep over your exploded body,” said Sheen.
….Yeah.
Though he claims to not remember when was the last time he used drugs, he also boasted that when he was using, he “exposed people to magic. I exposed them to something that they otherwise would not see in their boring, normal lives. And I gave that to them!”
And after that, he claimed he will never relapse because of a “click in his brain” that has him moved on from his partying days. Because that’s all it takes. People close to him are worried. And so are we, much like we were when Lindsay Lohan hit the Britney-head-shaving level of rock bottom.
Charlie Sheen needs some serious help, and fast. Otherwise, it’s only a matter of time until we all watch him spiral out of control toward a tragic ending.
There was lots of Facebook drama in the news last week when we found out that the new Breakup Notifier was kicked off the site. (Now if only my mother could get kicked off the site….)
The “Breakup Notifier” let you take a bunch of your friends that are listed as in a relationship and plug them into the app. If and when they changed their relationship status, the app would e-mail you to let you know. It was stalking made simple.
Even though we thought this app was an amazing/creepy idea, it still didn’t solve all of our Facebook woes. There’s still some work to be done — and now that some space in the app market has cleared up, we had a few ideas of our own. Read More »
We all have our go-to stores that we, uh, go to when we need to stock up on some new wardrobe essentials (or when we just have an hour to kill and the mall reaches out and wraps us in its warm embrace). But what about all those other stores? The ones that you walk past on your way to Auntie Anne’s without a second glance? The “mom” stores, the old lady department stores, the stores that don’t start with “Forever” and end with “21″? Surprise! Many of those stores are filled with major cuteness that you’re missing out on! (Except Chico’s – keep walking, little lady.) We know you’re not one to pass up a cute cami, so we scoured these under-the-radar shops and pulled out all the goodness you never realized existed.
When you hear LL Bean, what comes to mind? For me it’s hunting gear and unbreakable, sturdy (read: ugly) shoes, neither of which I want in my closet. In fact, the last thing I got from LL Bean was one of those backpacks that had my initials stitched into it. And that was 5 years ago. I never considered that they made clothes and when I found out they did, I just assumed their racks were overflowing with flannel and bright orange.
But to my surprise, and probably yours, they have some really cute clothes. And though they do still sell mom jeans, some of these new clothing options balance out the kakhi-tastic high waistedness of yesteryear. Not to mention most of their products come with lifetime warranties. And if that doesn’t make you want to start reaching for your plastic, some of these options will. Read More »
I’m having a pre-post-grad crisis.
Which is probably not a term you’ve heard all that often, especially since I’m 90% sure that I just made it up. So let me explain. The symptoms are not all that different from a post-grad crisis, except I’m not actually a post-grad yet. I’m a senior, a few months from graduation and I have absolutely no idea what comes next. And despite my many, many promises that I wasn’t going to worry or care or wonder, I can’t help myself. I’m thinking about it. I’m thinking about it a lot. And I don’t know what to do.
Right about now you’re thinking something like, you and every other 21-year-old out there. And you’d probably be right. No one really knows what they’re doing or where they are going straight out of college. But for the sake of this column I’m going to be the self centered twenty-something the world is always making our generation out to be anyway and I’m going to complain about my problem like I’m the first and only person to ever graduate college.
You’ve been warned.
This idea is something I’ve touched on earlier in this column, but I haven’t really had much time to contemplate it. Last semester was really, really busy. So busy that I almost forgot what college was all about, so much that I forgot how to enjoy myself. But this semester, that hasn’t been the case. Things have calmed down. I’ve calmed down. But all this free time has obviously left me with too much time to think. Because I. AM. FREAKING. OUT. Read More »
Dear Miley Cyrus (and other teenagers across America intent on destroying any modicum of talent you possess by making extremely foolish decisions),
I used to not like you. Actually, I’ll cut the crap. I wanted your vocal chords removed. Or at least have you banished to some remote part of the world where I wouldn’t have to be subject to your ubiquity on TV, on the radio, in magazines and sold-out concert venues. I refused to listen to more than five seconds of any song of yours that I had the great misfortune of accidentally hearing, unless I wanted to be filled with boiling rage at the unanswerable question of how someone with the singing voice of a farm animal could become outrageously successful. Like, how?
But then you started to do some stupid things. That photoshoot with Annie Leibovitz, for starters. Never mind that you were at the not-ripe-for-nudity age of 15-years-old, or that it was so transparently a cheap attempt to sexualize a juvenile Disney juggernaut – the most confounding thing of all was the reasoning your team gave for conceding to the risqué photoshoot: “You can’t say no to Annie.”
Really? You can’t? It’s called exploitation, people, and it’s something that one should most definitely decline to take part in.
Then came the pole dances, the writhing around in a bird cage for “Can’t Be Tamed,” the steady drop in the amount of clothing you wore for public appearances. And finally, the kicker: you doing bong hits for your 18th birthday. Captured on video and promptly submitted to a far-reaching gossip website with a rabid, unforgiving readership, no less. Your team said it was Salvia, we said it didn’t matter what it was, because you were clearly as high as an untethered kite.
Baggage fees are beyond outrageous now, so the ultimate goal for any traveler is to pack as many things as possible into as few bags as possible. However, Spring Break is the time when you want to show off your killer tan and fabulous fashion finds all week long, presenting quite the conundrum for the Spring Breaker on the budget.
But we’ve been there, done that, and therefore have some great advice on what you need to pack when you have limited space: Read More »
I have something to share with you. Something many of you don’t want to hear (ignorance is bliss, right?), but something you all need to hear. Something that goes against everything we’ve been taught our whole lives. Something that is going to rock your world. You ready for it?
Zero calories doesn’t always equal healthy.
If your favorite dessert is claiming to be calorie free, or you’re reaching daily for that “skinny vanilla latte” thinking skinny latte = skinny jeans, think again. The truth is all of these things are loaded with artificial sweeteners. Chemicals. Things your body doesn’t recognize and are actually poisonous for your bootylicious bod.
Hard to swallow, right? Girl, I know it. Every time I try to convince my friends that artificial sweeteners turn into formaldehyde in their body, are the furthest thing from natural and that it’s actually better for us all to have a little of the REAL stuff then this fake crap that millions of us are now putting in our bodies multile times a day, I get the same response: “Everything is going to cause cancer eventually so why not at least look good now?!”
Well, what if I told you that your artificial sweeteners are actually making you FAT? Gasp! Shudder! The horror!
I know, but it’s true.
Studies have shown that artificial sweeteners actually make you… EAT MORE, When you’re sipping on chugging Diet Coke (or whatever other artificial sweetener laden food or drink you enjoy) it confuses your body and convinces your brain that food is coming. To prepare, your body produces insulin, which actually drives up your appetite, slows down your metabolism and leaves you with a few extra pounds around your midsection. Studies have shown that people who drink diet soft drinks at meals end up consuming more food than those drinking water.
As a reward for staying up late to watch the Oscars, I really feel I should be rewarded with any or all of the actresses’ makeup artists. And maybe a stylist. Getting up and dressed for school after a late night is a bit of a challenge when I’ve got major on-loan-dress-envy. While the awards themselves were a little awkward (Did James Franco meet up with Charlie Sheen before the show?), there were a few entertaining moments. For me, the best part was joining in on the College Candy liveblog Oscar party.
Seriously, it was the place to be last night….and about the only reason I even stayed awake for the “duh” awards at the end of the show.
But we all know we don’t watch the Oscars for the show itself. The fashion – from the dresses to the jewels to the shoes – is what really matters. Especially when it’s James Franco wearing all three. Anyways, in case you missed it or didn’t get enough of my quips during the liveblog, check out the most memorable looks from last night’s show. Read More »
